<p>Hello, i'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to say this, but is there any chance that the const generics work be "assigned" to a proper WG or something, so at least people can track its progress at something like weekly meetings...</p>

<p>You see, PR 53645 is very "epic", and it is open since Aug 2018. It will be great if the rust team can push it over the finish line, and schedule up the following steps...</p>

<p>I do not remember such a WG being discussed during the all hands meeting(s), but I do not think it is necessary either, as that is just a single PR...</p>

<p>perhaps maybe I’m wrong</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="123586">@nagisa</span> i do not think a dedicated wg is necessary either(at least in this stage), just hoping the progress is tracked somewhere... Maybe quite some libstd API auditing will happen after this work comes to reality.</p>
